New York: Random House, 1964. First edition, first printing. Octavo. Original blue cloth and dust jacket (not price-clipped). Some edgewear to dust jacket along head and foot; small chip to base of spine; rubbing to panels with an abrasion to rear dust jacket panel. Fine in a very good dust jacket.. First edition of Cold Friday, published posthumously by Random House in 1964 after the death of Whittaker Chambers (1901-1961) in 1961. Although Chambers became a household name after the publication of his influential autobiography Witness in 1952, it is in Cold Friday that the full breadth of Chambers' poignant vision is unfurled throughout posthumously published essays, diary entries, and correspondence. Compiled by long-time friend and colleague Duncan Norton-Taylor (former managing editor of Fortune), Cold Friday documents the despair, illness, and courage of Chambers' final years after testifying before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1948 and against Alger Hiss in the…

He became a Trotskyist in 1935, but would break with Trotskyism and…

Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, 1953. First US edition, second printing (August 1953). Octavo. Original maroon cloth and dust jacket (not price-clipped).

Very good early printing of Kirk's masterpiece.. Second printing of Russell Kirk's (1918-1994) landmark history of modern intellectual conservatism.

Nock, James Burnham, T. S. Eliot, and Richard Weaver. What the literature seemed to lack, however, was a…

London: Faber & Faber Ltd, 1954. First UK edition. Octavo. Original blue cloth (lacking dust jacket). Edgewear and scuffing to boards with wear to spine; toning to endpapers; very small creases to several page corners; dusting and spotting to page block with small ink mark to top block. Very good.. First UK edition of Russell Kirk's (1918-1994) landmark history of modern intellectual conservatism. When The Conservative Mind was first published in 1953 by the Henry Regnery Company in Chicago, a substantial literature had developed in opposition to (or, at least as a critique of) modern liberalism, including through the works of Albert J. Nock, James Burnham, T. S. Eliot, and Richard Weaver. What the literature seemed to lack, however, was a unifying concept, or guiding principle, capable of combining its many unique strands into a coherent tradition. As Henry Regnery affirmed in the book's seventh revised edition, "it was the great achievement, one might even say the historic achievement, of Russell…

First edition of Willmoore Kendall's (1909-1967) The Conservative Affirmation, which offers a collection of his most important essays and reviews on conservatism.

Born in Oklahoma in 1909, Kendall graduated from high school at age thirteen, from the University of Oklahoma at age eighteen, and studied at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 1932. Like other founding fathers within the movement, including James Burnham and Whittaker Chambers, he was an early Trotskyist, but Kendall would eventually disclaim Communism following…
